Hey all! We certainly have a lot to be thankful for here in Munich, and we celebrated in traditional, gut-busting fashion earlier this week. On Monday night we went to an American chorister's apartment who, I take it, has been hosting a Thanksgiving dinner for many years now. There were lots of people and mountains of food, and we had a great time gorging and gabbing.
Brenda has her fourth and final Die Schweigsame Frau performance tomorrow night. All the performances have either been sold out or only had standing-room spots left. I was able to see the last show thanks to a very sweet babysitter Brenda found. I'd seen the show at least twice a few years ago, and I was surprised to discover that I enjoyed it even more this time around. An added bonus was that our friends Susanne and Stephan were also at the performance with their friend Jule.

Thanks for the pictures, Susanne!
On Saturday Brenda has double duty: she's singing at the BMW Advent benefit concert in the afternoon and at a sponsor's 80th birthday in the evening. On Sunday we hit the road back to Frankfurt, and after a couple days filled with dentist appointments and Glühwein, we fly to Michigan. Brenda will be singing the soprano solos in Handel's Messiah at the University of Michigan next weekend. After that we'll get to enjoy some time in our home in Minneapolis before Brenda flies to Italy for her next gig.
I hope you're all having a wonderful Thanksgiving, and we'll talk to you again soon!
